Shapes Bundle
Cork

Shapes Bundle started as a collaboration with Outdoor Voices for Wallpaper* Handmade in 2015. Initially shown in Milan, the project received positive interest and we began working with Outdoor Voices to bring the blocks into production. The results of this year long effort are the three central forms from the original Shapes Bundle, adapted to cork and refined for everyday use.

We align ourselves with companies that share our interest in good, enduring design. With Outdoor Voices, there was an exciting opportunity to collaborate on a common goal: elevating the fitness space. The challenge was to create something that was functional, but also considered in design and something people wanted to display rather than hide.

The blocks; a Roller, Block, and Triangle, can be used together or individually across different fields of exercise. With a playful nod to tactility and material interaction, they elevate the traditional fitness kit and encourage users to find new ways to stretch, bend, and play. The cork is lightweight and easy to maneuver, impervious to sweat, anti-microbial, and slip resistant.

Designed in collaboration with Sina Sohrab.
